Abstract
Athletic pants/shorts/skirts having a rectangular shaped pocket located on or near the hip region with the aperture located on or near the waistband area creating a space for snugly restraining a mobile device, while limiting anterior and posterior exposure to environmental factors, objects and equipment that could come into contact with the device(s) and preventing the device from being laid upon when the wearer is performing exercises that require the posterior or anterior region to come into contact with equipment or other environmental factors. The present invention also moves the location of the mobile device closer to an athlete's ears than a standard inset pocket providing a headphone cord more flexibility.
Description
- Many athletes carry mobile devices or music players during workouts in order to listen to music, log fitness information, use a timer or stopwatch, access applications, and remain available for text messaging and calls. However, the location where a device rests inside a standard inset pocket puts the device in danger of damage from weights, equipment, movements, and other environmental factors. Standard inset pockets fail to secure the device during certain movements and exercises and do not keep devices from swinging or shifting in the pocket while running, biking, and performing similar movements. Standard inset pockets also fail to keep the device from completely falling out. Also, the content in a standard inset pocket can be difficult to access when the athlete is in a seated position.
- Materials use to construct the athletic pants/shorts/skirts might be polyester, spandex, cotton, silk, linen, wool, leather, ramie, hemp, jute, chiffon, acrylic, organza, latex, nylon, velvet, taffeta, denim, rayon, georgette, viscose, polypropylene, gray fabric, satin, stretch fabric, or others.
- It is an object of the present invention to substantially overcome or at least ameliorate one or more of the above disadvantages, or to provide a useful alternative.
- Athletic pants/shorts/skirts having a rectangular shaped panel/pocket located on or near the hip region or hip joint, on the right or left side of the wearer's body, attached vertically or horizontally to the outside or inside of the garment, with the aperture located on or near the waistband area creating a space for snugly restraining a mobile device, while limiting exposure to environmental factors, objects, and equipment that could normally come into contact with the device(s) if placed in a standard inset pocket, and preventing the device from being laid upon when the wearer is performing exercises that require the posterior or anterior region to come into contact with equipment or other environmental factors; and to limit the swinging, swaying movement of the device; and moving the location of the mobile device closer to the athlete's ears allowing the headphone cord to have more flexibility.
- The panel/pocket being substantially the width of standard mobile devices such as the iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, LG Nexus, HTC One, Nokia Lumia, iPod Touch, iPod Nano and others. The panel having one or more apertures for the insertion/removal of a mobile device(s).

FIG. 2 is a perspective view ofFIG. 1 with a mobile device being inserted into one of the carrying spaces created by the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view ofFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 . -

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention. - As depicted in
FIG. 1-7 athletic pants/shorts/skirts (10) having a carrying panel (12) located on or near the hip region with one or more apertures (40). The carrying panel (12) is positioned vertically or horizontally along or near the waistband (14) and is stitched or seamed along its left outer periphery (18) and right outer periphery (20). The panel (12) is generally rectangular and the lower outer periphery (16) is generally created by a solid piece of material that is connected to the main panel (22) and forming a section of the waistband (14). The width and length of the panel sections (28) can be varied but at least one substantially corresponds to the width and length of common mobile devices and music players such as the iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, LG Nexus, HTC One, Nokia Lumia, iPod Touch, iPod Nano and others. - The aperture(s) (40) are the same size, narrower, or wider than the width of the panel (12) and can be elastically deformable to allow the size of the aperture (40) to be stretched to allow the insertion of the mobile device into the carrying space.
- The stretch fabric of the panel (12) retains the mobile device snugly in the carrying space (13) to limit movement of the device during exercise.
- The hip region location of the panel (12) limits the device from coming into contact with anterior or posterior objects, equipment, and environmental factors that are common in strength training and other exercises.
- As depicted in
FIG. 4 once stitched, the material connected or stitched to the top of the panel (12) along the outer barrier (15) can act as a dislodgement barrier (17) limiting the mobile device from falling out of the carrying space (13) if the athlete is positioned on an incline or upside down, or performing movements that could dislodge the device. - Although the invention has been described with reference to specific examples, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the invention may be embodied in many other areas.
